New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu has signed a proclamation recognizing Clean Energy Week next month, the fourth state in the country to do so.

The week runs from Sept. 23-27.

In his proclamation, Sununu says the state has taken proactive steps to grow renewable energy sources and energy efficient technologies.

He notes that โ€œclean energy is an important part of New Hampshireโ€™s energy futureโ€ and that the clean energy sector has been a โ€œdriver of economic growthโ€ for the state in recent years.

Other states that are participating include Iowa, Alabama and Oklahoma.
